hi,just wondering if anyone can help my Chrysler 115hp 79 model has reverse gear but when I try and put it in to forward gear it only revs and will not go. it did grind for a while like a klunking sound as it went into gear before it would just rev.
 
Welcome, sounds like the clutch dog's gone bad.
Or the cables are bad.
Take the shift cable connectors off and try shifting by hand.
If it shifts then, it's the cable.
Fill out the profile and location. You might be close to someone who can help.
 
You should have a 1 piece gear housing.
The clutch dog is inside the housing.

#26 is the dog.
It can be replaced but can be tricky to do.
Good luck.
Look on U-tube for videos.
